Wide curtains for bay windows (1930s semi)

[Bayleaf25]

Is there anyone here with bay windows? I'm trying to find some ready made, pencil pleat, wide curtains for a bay window. Ideally we want to keep the cost down. The existing curtains are about 270cm wide each (the width of the pole is about 300cm). The drop is only 175cm - 183cm.

Dunhelm have some on their website but the wide 284cm curtains always seem to be out of stock. Our old ones were from John Lewis but can't see any wide ones on their website either. I've also looked on Next.

So, if anyone has been through this dilemma could you please share any tips, I really want to avoid the cost of having them made to measure if at all possible.

They can't be eyelet curtains as we can't fit a pole to the bay - it is a curved bay rather than angled - so have an old fashioned curtain rail.

It surely can't be that unusual, we live in a bog standard 1930's semi!

Thanks in advance

We used two sets for this issue - as in, 4 curtains, 2 at each side.

I get all my wide curtains second hand off eBay-occasionally have to make slight repairs but they are usually fine. Might work if you have the time to look for something to come up?

We have wide windows and ended up with two pairs of plain curtains on the main living room window. It's fine, you can't tell most of the time.

I have two pairs of floor length on my bay too. When they are opened, I have each of them hanging separately which covers the edges of the window and frames the view.

I use 2 pairs and prefer the look of it tbh.
Ikea curtains are very reasonable and decent quality.

We used two pairs too. Is Dunelm expensive to have made up?

Two pairs as well. Try Terry's.

We have two pairs from dunelm

Dunelm, went to large branch, had a lot of choice and found size to fit my bay window. Approx same size as yours.

We have also done two pairs in the bedroom and back room. In the front room I currently have pencil pleat that I never gathered, controversial I know but I like the way it looks- very unfussy. It's on a ceiling mounted bay track and looks a bit like the 'wave' style I suppose.

Dunelm currently have a good selection of extra wide curtains available to order online.

What sort of pole do you have in your bay window?
I resorted to shutters in my bay.
